Review: Following Thor Into The Dark World
| 19. November, 2013

 

This week we’re finally learning to pronounce Mjolnir and failing to remember the name of the MacGuffin this time, as we review the latest Marvel Studios effort Thor: The Dark World. For help, Patches and Katey bring in Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci, who is both knowledgeable about superhero things and pretty enthusiastic about this latest adventure (it’s also his birthday today– Happy Birthday Devin!) And we end with your answers to our lightning round question about movies that involve drinking.

| 19. November, 2013

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

 

This week we’re incredibly thrilled to have as our guest John Ratzenberger, the iconic star of Cheers and every single Pixar movie, who’s joining us to talk about his new TV series “American Made,” which is currently launching a Fund Anything campaign. We also asked John to pick a favorite movie to discuss, and he suggested My Cousin Vinny, which gives us the chance to talk about what makes a good Hollywood comedy. We also ask John about his experiences with Pixar and one last thing he has to say about Cheers. Come for the behind-the-scenes stories about Cliff Clavin and John Lasseter, stay for the French accent and Jacques Tati references. All that plus a lightning round about– what else?– your favorite movies that involve drinking.

Review: Celebrating The McConaughssiance In Dallas Buyers Club
| 19. November, 2013

This week we’re packing our trunks full of illegal prescription drugs and crossing the U.S.-Mexico border as we join the Dallas Buyers Club, which was both a real group that got HIV-treatment drugs from Mexico and also a new movie starring Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner. To join us we’ve brought in Nathaniel Rogers of The Film Experience, and because he’s with us and David isn’t, we even get to indulge in a little Oscar season talk. Nobody tell David!
